   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Smith and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Because defendant did not have an 
   attorney-client relationship with an attorney who was cooperating with 
   authorities, the government could not have unconstitutionally intruded 
   into the relationship, and the district court did not err in denying 
   defendant's motion to dismiss the superseding indictment or suppress his 
   statements to the attorney based on a claim of outrageous government 
   conduct; the evidence failed to show defendant was coerced into making 
   statements to a cooperating co-conspirator; the offense regarding which 
   the cooperating co-conspirator questioned defendant was different than the 
   offense for which defendant had invoked his Fifth Amendment right to 
   silence, and the questioning did not violate defendant's Sixth Amendment 
   right to counsel; claims that the district court's trial conduct, 
   including evidentiary rulings and comments, prejudiced defendant and 
   denied him a fair trial are rejected; various pro se arguments, including 
   claims regarding severance, evidentiary rulings and an entrapment defense 
   rejected; district court did not err in denying defendant's motion to 
   dismiss with prejudice a criminal forfeiture count aftet the court's 
   failed to comply with Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(5)(A); nor did the court 
   err in granting the government's motion to dismiss the count without 
   prejudice; various pro se motions denied.
